Behind the Scenes: Water Treatment Plant Tour

Join us on Saturday, 14 June at 9:30 AM at 1000 Thompson Drive, Kerrville, TX 78028 for an eye-opening tour of the Surface Water Treatment Plant — discover what it takes to deliver clean, safe water to our homes and communities every day. This guided experience will take you inside the process — where science, engineering, and stewardship meet to protect one of our most vital natural resources.

In a time of increasing drought and development pressure, understanding where our water comes from — and how it's managed — is more important than ever. This tour offers a behind-the-scenes look at how our community safeguards its water supply, and why your voice matters in shaping a more water-secure future.
